Global, Regional, and National Burden of Atherosclerotic Cardiovascular Disease in Pre- and Post-Menopausal Women: 1990-2021 Trends and 2041 Projections from the Global Burden of Disease Study.

ABSTRACT: BackgroundThe global burden and temporal trends of atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD) stratified by menopausal status have not been comprehensively described.MethodsAge-standardized incidence rates (ASIR), prevalence rates (ASPR), disability-adjusted life year rates (ASDALYR), and death rates (ASDR) for ASCVD, including ischemic heart disease (IHD), ischemic stroke (IS), and lower extremity peripheral artery disease (LEPAD), were estimated among pre- and post-menopausal women from 1990 to 2021 using data from the Global Burden of Disease Study 2021. Temporal trends were quantified using average annual percent change, and the population attribution fractions were calculated for established ASCVD risk factors. Projections to 2041 were generated using the Nordpred model.ResultsIn
